I saw him live around this time. I recall a fan jumped on stage and Howard bolted away from his keyboards in fear for a second or so before he realized he was in full view of the audience. He regained his composure soon enough but I laughed anyway.

Difficult to say why it's so dislikable; something to do with the combination of its thin, cheap sounding production, the sound of those keyboards and the inane "positivity" of Mr Jones with his nasal vocal and children's tv presenter clothes. When he, Nik Kershaw and Kajagoogoo all had hits within about a month of each other you knew new pop was over. A SHIT then.

Except "Wouldn't It Be Good" was absolutely glorious! Much better than this piece of fuck.
